 +1 Got my 05' first week of Nov. 05', Ive got about 12'500 mile and the only problem was a slight leak from one of the fork seals a few months ago, but that's was to be expected. 

Congradulations, you've both survived your first year!

My first year was easy...  It's starting the second year that was hard...  I thought I was hot-shaZam!...     





I wish I had somewhere to do all my own maintenance...   

Congrats, FearedGS500!!

who says you have to have somewhere to do it ? you have  a front yard right  only thing i'v had to do wash valve checks .. i took my tires to the local home owned dealer and had them do my one tire change .... other then that .

No.  No, I don't.   

I live in a condo in a... Uh... "Not the nicest" part of town.

I could  work on it in my shared garage, but I'd have to pack up all my tools and whatnot every time I wanted to use the bathroom, have a snack, or get a drink...   There's no way I'm letting my tools walk off without me.

And since someone tried to steal my GS once already and 7 cars have been broken into since I moved in (2 months ago)...  I'm not gonna chance it.   

ohhhh i'd be looking for a new place

I'm guessing its not a big condo, or you could do like one of my buddies here, he's in a 14 story condo and can get his bike into the elevator from the parking garage and luckily he's in the middle so its straight into his unit from the elevator.
